Chapter 2679 : You are my whole world.
PEI GE’s favorite dishes were still on the table, and every time Shen Feng’s eyes met hers, the gentleness in his eyes remained the same. However, PEI GE could sense that something was different about him today. She could not tell what was wrong with him, or perhaps she was being too sensitive. He felt it.
“Have you been staying at home all day?” PEI GE tried to find a topic to talk about. Usually, Shen Feng would take the initiative to start a conversation, talk about past events, or ask her if there was anything she wanted to do today. However, he spoke too little today, and PEI GE was not used to this.
Shen Feng recovered from his thoughts and realized that she was staring at him. He then realized that she seemed to have asked him a question and apologized,””Sorry, Ge Ge. I was thinking about something and didn’t pay attention. What did you say?”
She never liked to guess, so she asked directly,””Do you have something on your mind?”
“You can tell.” Shen Feng did not hide anything from her. He wanted to tell her what he was thinking, anyway.
She pointed at the plate of garlic-flavored vegetables with her chopsticks and raised an eyebrow.””The vegetables you stir-fried are very salty.”
The garlic-flavored vegetables were almost turning into salted vegetables. If it wasn’t because he was absent-minded, could it be that his hands were shaking and he didn’t know?
Shen Feng bent over, took the chopsticks from her, and placed them on the table. He held her hand that was holding the chopsticks and looked at the confused PEI GE with eyes full of love.
“What’s wrong?” PEI GE did not know what was going on. This was not the first time Shen Feng had held her hand, so she naturally did not reject it. However, this person’s sudden affectionate gaze made her feel very uncomfortable.
Shen Feng knelt on one knee and kissed the back of her hand. They were very close to each other, and he looked up at her with his deep eyes that seemed to want to lock her in. She was too gentle.
PEI GE suddenly had a premonition that made her heart beat faster. She wanted to retreat, but Shen Feng did not allow her to. He held her hands tightly, not giving her the chance to escape.
“You see, there’s a world in my eyes.” Shen Feng said gently.
PEI GE finally heaved a sigh of relief when she did not hear what she had expected. She carefully studied Shen Feng’s so-called ‘world in the eyes’ and only said after a long time,””What world is it?”
Just as PEI GE was still puzzled, Shen Feng added,””Then what do you see in my eyes?”
“Me?” PEI GE was puzzled. At this moment, Shen Feng could only see her reflection in his eyes.
Shen Feng suddenly moved and pulled her into his embrace. He then whispered in her ear,””You are my entire world.”
PEI GE, who was currently being hugged, felt a wave of heat spread from her ears and her face burn. That confession was still domineeringly lingering in her mind, as if forcing every cell in her body to memorize those words.
“Marry me, will you?”
Before PEI GE could recover from his words, Shen Feng struck her like a bolt of lightning, and her back stiffened.
She panicked as she tried to decipher the meaning behind Shen Feng’s words. She had never thought that he would propose at this time, so she wondered if she had heard him wrong.
Shen Feng saw that the person in his arms did not move and was afraid that he had acted too suddenly and frightened her, so he gently patted her back and patiently waited for her answer.
At this moment, PEI GE was already in a dilemma. She was not conflicted over whether to agree to Shen Feng’s marriage but on what reason to reject him without hurting anyone.
PEI GE did not know how to describe her feelings for Shen Feng. He was very good, very good, and was currently the best person she knew to treat her. PEI GE had heard from many people about Shen Feng’s deep love for her, and even she herself had experienced it, but what about her feelings for him?
No, PEI GE still could not accept Shen Feng at this time. There were too many uncertainties and too many things that she did not understand between them. Furthermore, if she really wanted to marry him, it should not be now. Their love for each other was not equal.
PEI GE thought to herself, if I love you as deeply as you love me one day, then we can get married, alright?
PEI GE’s silence caused Shen Feng’s originally nervous mood to gradually sink.
Ring, ring, ring … The doorbell rang at that moment, Breaking the Silence. PEI GE took the opportunity to break free from Shen Feng’s embrace and avoided his gaze.”I … I’ll open the door.”
Shen Feng helplessly laughed as he watched her escape. He secretly blamed himself for being too impulsive and almost scared away this little rabbit that he had painstakingly captured.
PEI GE returned shortly with a bouquet of red roses in her arms. She asked in confusion,””You ordered this?”
Only then did Shen Feng remember that he had specially ordered roses for this proposal. He did not expect that he would be like a young brat who impulsively proposed to her before the flowers were even sent to him.
“Do you like it?”
PEI GE also realized that the flowers were probably meant for Shen Feng’s proposal, so it was awkward for them to be sent over. She quickly tried to smooth things over. “They’re so pretty. I’m going to put them in the room.”
PEI GE returned to her room with the flowers while Shen Feng weakly sat on the sofa. His phone, which was originally on the coffee table, lit up, and the caller ID showed that it was Liu Lina. Shen Feng hung up the call in frustration, only to realize that he had six missed calls from Liu Lina.
Shen Feng, who was in a bad mood, immediately switched off his phone. Naturally, he missed Liu Lina’s message about her upcoming visit to Japan.
PEI GE and Shen Feng’s life returned to normal. Although PEI GE had silently rejected Shen Feng’s proposal, she was still trying to change her attitude toward him. She would even pay attention to his every action and expression, trying to find a balance point that could measure the depth of his love for her.
However, Shen Feng could not be by her side all the time, so it was natural that her research on him had difficulty improving.
Shen Feng, who was clearly ‘rejected’, did not leave in a fit of anger and did not even complain. Instead, his attitude toward her became gentler and more attentive.
PEI GE was in a hurry to express her apology to Shen Feng. In order to find an opportunity to do so, she looked through all the festivals in the past 30 days. However, other than the 14th of every month, which many people acknowledged as Valentine’s Day, she had no other choice. After much struggle, she decided to prepare a gift for Shen Feng before the 14th.
